I agree that not all gossip is "talking shit" but I see a lot of overlap between venting and bitching. The latter seems to be associated with more petty matters but both are ultimately complaining about something or someone. Like I said in the OP I can think of cases where gossip would be necessary, or seemingly justified now that I think about it further. But in most social contexts it just ends up being a means of making yourself feel better at the expense of someone's reputation and potentially their feelings. Talking behind someone's back is passive aggressive by the way.
That's okay I'm really not trying to out you for your opinion so I hope it doesn't come off that way. A lot of people share your opinion so I feel like I'm speaking to multiple people here. I'm not even saying that I've never gossiped so it's not like I'm excluding myself from these standards.
I'm so over this gloomy shit. Whatever you said or didn't say isn't worth losing a friend over. People say awful stuff when they're mad and more awful stuff when they think no one will hear. All of you say your sorry. Humbling yourself is a beautiful quality, and it goes a long way. Stop being petty. Yeah, someone said something shitty, get over it. Friended are worth much more. I'm not gonna debate the merits of something so simple anymore.
Not mad. Just being real. ;/
